Top pick

RuPaul’s Drag Race(VH1, 9 p.m.): A great episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race usually, though not always, possesses four things:

Charisma

Uniqueness

Nerve

and Talent

Wait, sorry, wrong four things. A great episode of Drag Race typically contains:

A fun and/or original challenge

High drama

High drag

and Talent

Tonight’s episode, “The Draglympics,” promises at least two of those. The “athletic” challenge looks like it could be a blast, and the sometimes constructive, sometimes just aggressive, and nearly always unsolicited notes and suggestions Yvie Oddly has been offering her fellow queens seem to be well and truly wearing out anything resembling a welcome. Silky Nutmeg Ganache’s overpowering energy seems to be doing the same. Whether “The Draglympics” delivers on those last two remains to be seen, but Kate Kulzick is optimistic.

Wild card

In The Dark (The CW, 9 p.m.) and Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger (Freeform, 8 p.m. and 9:01 p.m.): It’s a busy TV night, what can we say? We’re interested in The CW’s latest, from Corinne Kingsbury, Michael Showalter, and Ben Stiller, but also feel compelled to check out one of the last Marvel shows standing, the watchable Cloak & Dagger. Keep a lookout for a pre-air review of the former and a Q&A with the showrunner of the latter.
